is love really better the second time around?

they say that love is better the second time around. my best friend just got back together with her ex and things have been better for her. i am not really sure i would be that agreeable on this, especially if two people broke up for good for really valid reasons. for instance, my friend and her bf broke up and it was supposedly for good because the guy had drinking problems, plus was really cashing in on her. he would just gamble her money away so finally they decided to call it quits after trying so hard for so long. now the guy is coming back to her and asking her for another chance. i mean, true, we all deserve second chances but if we were not able to get over our differences the first time, what assures us that we will be able to overcome them the next time around. so i guess there's just two options for ex lovers getting back together - it will wither turn out to be something better or will just lead to the same thing that happened. what's your take on this?

No...once its ended, make sure its ended for good. it'll just go back to the same complications and heartaches. sometimes, it's better to leave each other alone than live with each other,

i agree with you on this. or at least if they can't leave each other alone then the best thing they could do is just be friends. i guess since it never worked out the first time, it's kind of an against-all-odds thing to fall all over again, knowing how destructive they could be of each other. or maybe not destructive but if they end up just hampering each other's growth instead of promoting it then they'd just end up hurting each other all the more. it's like reopening that wound that should have healed a long time ago. thanks for posting.
